I just added the Kenwood DNX7100 DVD/NAV combo. This thing is SIK !! I recommend it highly to anyone looking for a double din with nav. Whats hot is the nav is built into the head unit, no hideaway modules. Its EXTREMELY accurate, the DVD picture is awesome. The installers are cool and defeated the parking brake safety feature. I also replaces the stock speakers with MB Quart seperates. The stock sub was switched out for a MB Quart marine series 10" so I could put it in the stock location and use it freeair. Sounds incredible. Pics soon.

Nice.. I myself is running Kenwood DDX6019 and KNA-G510 combo w/ Ipod that I had installed Nov of last year. Absolutely love the navi and dvd quality is superb. You should post some pictures up. I am also thinking about replacing all speakers/sub and pop an amp for better sound and thump. Where in NY did you get your work done?

Default Pic of NAV screen

To answer earlier question... YES you can play CD while using NAV. The NAV uses a harddrive (I believe, anyway you dont need DVD for NAV). The headunit cost 1300, the MB Quart seperates were 200 for from and 200 for rear. The sub was 160. Everthing installed for $200 plus a $30 tip to the installer to defeat the safety bull******.

And yes I did have to get an amp to push the sub. The installer thought he was going to be able to use the new head unit to push the stock sub, but it didn't work out that way. I just bought a small 100W x 2 to push the sub. Hits real hard for a freeair. Also, heres a pic with the screen open to insert DVD...
